Had a good sleep last night. Everything was feeling positive since there was no “red market” day over in China, but before the market opened in the US, Europe was awake and had the European Central Bank Chair Mario Draghi’s declaring a willingness to expand its QE program because of the global slowdown, and admitted, that there is going to be “negative inflation.” Found it really weird, why didn’t he just say there’s going to be – DEFLATION. I guess he’s trying a little tenderness – saying the word will spook the hell out of everybody.
So I was there watching — not feeling as confident even with the major indices up over 100 points – market signals were all over the place — first you see that confidence in the pre-market price levels jumped from the day before, and start to go down before the opening, after the ECB announces the expanded QE. The indices, all those individual stocks I like to watch like AAPL, FB, GILD were up and down so much (with my own measure of volatility), I decided, the market is hard to get any solid footing and low-risk enough, so, I went to bed.
So what has been happening ? You can say there is some confusion, because “stimulus’ or expansion is always a good thing, on the other hand, the question here is WHY we are stimulating the economy, again, and WHY the first one hasn’t succeeded. They’ve been making mistakes about the growth figures before, who can be sure they are not making any more (mistakes). (Just want to make sure I am very clear on this hahaha).
Well, the governments don’t like to paint a bad picture, it’s their job. But it’s our job to protect our investments so, I hope you get the knowledge I share in here and look after your investments.
Nevertheless, there are opportunities for the people in the know.
So with all this volatility, it is all the more important to know how to protect those profits, find the opportunities.
